Primearth also make Nickel-metal Hydride batteries.
At the moment we all know that the electric cars
that are now produced have not been able to complete any distance
without needing to have their batteries charged up. These cars are
completely emission free but at the moment will not do any distance
without requiring their batteries to be charged. The winner at the
moment is the hybrid cars that run with an electric and a petrol
engine in coordination, in other words the patrol engine charges up
the batteries when dis-charged and the two engines work in tandem,
these cars do not have 100% emissions but will do any distance like
the conventional petrol and diesel engined cars.
This lac of distance problem has spurred
Primearth EV Energy into developing a new Lithium-Ion (LiOn) battery
that is lighter than the previous LiOn battery pack weighing in with
56 cell battery that can produce 4.4 k/watts and is nearly 4 times
more powerful than the early batteries fitted to the Prius. This new
battery is almost half the weight and size of the older type battery
and it will only take about one and a half hours to re-charge the
battery from a standard household power point.
The new Prius will be fitted with a 1.8 petrol
engine coupled with a 60k/watt per hour magnetic electric motor and
will be capable of doing over 100 mile per gallon another great
breakthrough for Toyota and Primearth working in tandem on new
battery technologies.
New batteries charging system
The new battery re-charging system uses an
ordinary three pin plug that we use here in the UK and so you can
plug-in anywhere although if recharging at home it is advisable to
get your electrical system checked out, and even have a special plug
point fitted and tested to charge up your car.
A very good and
comprehensive article about this new system can be found on a great
article by Chris Adamson writing in...
